Pure Spirit Lotus (Jing Ling Lian)
Origin
Grows only at the bottom of the Cleansing Spirit Pool.
Effects & Usage
A spiritual lotus with a crystal-clear stem containing blood vessels. When unopened, it is淡黄 (light yellow) and useless. When fully bloomed, it turns肉红 (flesh-pink) with visible veins. Consuming its petals during the洗髓 (marrow-cleansing) process in the Cleansing Spirit Pool is key to脱胎换骨 (rebirth) and gaining a chance to advance to Mahayana. However, failure leaves a hidden flaw preventing future advancement.
